Internet Gold Video : Kangaroo street fight goes viral – and is it fake?

Take two kangaroos having an all-out brawl in the middle of a residential New South Wales add one quick-thinking guy with a video camera, plus a balletic Tchaikovsky soundtrack, and the result is Internet gold.

In one of those “only in Australia” moments, Rodney Langham noticed two male ‘roos duking it out just outside his home in New South Wales recently, so he grabbed his camera, stepped outside and pushed play.
One commentator believes it is a stunt for the car in the foreground. What do you think?
” This “video” was computer animated.  The image layers were very obvious.  It is easy to doctor videos now, what with all the  freely available software out there. Nice try though.”
He went on to record the animals as they punched and brutally kicked at one another (presumably over a female) for more than five minutes. Langham added the music and posted the clip to YouTube on Sept. 30, where it has now been viewed more than 1.7 million times.
